Your examples were fine. It was all you observed and still hard for anyone to know EXACTLY what he's on, if anything. Really its something you need to discuss before jumping to really negative conclusions. May be a mild health issue he shouod medicate for but doesn't during the week due to the side effects. I have taken tests with psychologist and got diagnosed and prescribed adderall, however I rarely take it due to the side effects.

Speaking of.. is he able to eat ok while like this or barely eats? Adderall and ecstacy both suppress his appetite.

I suggest you be open minded and talk to him. Feel free to pm me after. If you post here you may get a lot of OMG RUN AWAY HE DID ADDERALL HE WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.

I can't tell you scientifically but it can. I took adderall regularly for years and ecstacy probably 100x in my life. Both can easily cause it.

sounds more like an emotional/psychiatric issue than chemical to me

on the off chance it's coke (about half the symptoms match), have you ever felt any numbness after kissing him on your lips or anything like that? is his nose particularly stuffy?

have you noticed any teeth grinding or jaw clenching?

again though, i'd suspect another cause before drugs given what you say

Ecstasy is a party drug. Not really that beneficial if you just stay at home.

He would be more jumpy on coke or speed.

Most of the symptoms sound pretty normal. But if you FEEL there is something wrong, he might be on anti depressants or something? Legal or illegally?

No appetite problems, that I can tell, and he's carrying probably an extra 15 lbs on him so he certainly doesn't look like a junkie.

No teeth clenching, jaw issues...

I think I'll just keep my eyes open, and if it happens again I will find a way to ask him about it.

Adderall is not a sexual stimulant, and I believe a reason for that is because the blood goes towards your head and not toward the lower half of your body.

- be extremely loving and touchy feely, like overboard Like really, how overboard? Rubs against you like a cat?
- talk about God, the afterlife, and ghosts he has seen I've never heard of being into "spiritual" stuff a side effect of drugs
- he sometimes can't get it up Well, if he is not in good shape I've heard this can happen to guys his age.
- He is NOT slurring his words, does NOT have bloodshot eyes, does NOT wake up feeling horrible
- I don't see or smell anything when I come over (I know how pot smells)
- Some of what we discuss he can't remember a few days later Really? My husband and I go through this all the time on both sides
- He keeps some odd hours - up until 3AM some nights and sleeps late, yet isn't jumpy or hyper So do I, and I'm not on drugs


I'm not sure what all the hubbub is about. I have a wild misspent youth, which involved a lot of various, non-legal substances and none of what you have above would indicate to me that he is on drugs.

I'm really surprised at the responses.

^^^ As far as the touchy feely stuff, for one example, he was rubbing my cheek and told me he liked my eyebrows. Odd stufff, just odd. Not creepy, just odd.

Funny how potentially being on drugs mimics the signs of aging!! LOL.

On occasion, he will do the following which is out of the norm:

- be extremely loving and touchy feely, like overboard
- talk about God, the afterlife, and ghosts he has seen
- he sometimes can't get it up
- He is NOT slurring his words, does NOT have bloodshot eyes, does NOT wake up feeling horrible

- He keeps some odd hours - up until 3AM some nights and sleeps late, yet isn't jumpy or hyper


I am not wise to drug culture, but I feel something might be going on here other than just social drinking. I have not snooped to try to find any drug paraphanelia, but I'm thinking I may have to before I become even more invested in this relationship. It's just raising some big red flags for me.

Any thoughts?

If you think you HAVE to "Snoop" you need to get out of this relationship.
You already don't trust him so quit wasting his time and move on.
